Quota
Answer in brief
A quota is the number of machines of a given kind your account may run, and for large GPUs a new account often starts at zero.
Quota in practice
A quota is set per account and often per region. Raising it means filing a request and waiting, and approval is not certain.
A quota is not stock. A provider can have machines free and still refuse to start one for you. This site labels such listings Quota, with the date of the check.
